Elisha Cuthbert facts

She hates flying and is very superstitious, and always has to board a plane with her right foot first.

Elisha shares a birthday with Kaley Cuoco. They should deffo have a party together, and invite us.

Why we love Elisha Cuthbert

Canadian cutie Cuthbert will forever be associated with the role of Kim Bauer, Jack’s perma-kidnapped daughter on increasingly daft thriller series 24. “Haylp!” she’d scream, over and over. “I’ve been kidnapped! Again!” After 79 episodes of this, it started to get a bit much – lucky for Elisha, she’s cuter than a cartoon deer, so we never quite got to the stage of willing the terrorists to chuck her over the side of the jeep/boat/aeroplane.

As good as she was at playing a screaming kidnap victim, Cuthbert has proved herself far more adept at getting laughs, as she’s repeatedly proved in her role as Alex in US sitcom Happy Endings – a show that’s as hilarious as it is inexplicably unpopular (i.e. very).
